At the top – After months of campaign ads — and some would say its seems longer — primary election day arrives in Kentucky next Tuesday. At the top of the ballot is the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Mitch McConnell and challenger Matt Bevin. The winner of that race will face presumptive Democratic nominee Allison Lundergan Grimes.
